For those of you who follow our weekly “Kicks” reviews and release information, you may remember our full review of the Adidas TMac TS Creator’s or the Kevin Garnett TS Commander’s. Well Adidas has just announced this week the release of a new shoe that is sort of a cross between the two. They are calling it the TS Bounce Commander. I’m super jacked about this shoe. I have a lot of different basketball shoes cause i’m a sneaker junkie (and because adidas and converse send me samples from time to time), but my favorite playing shoes right now are definitely the TS Creators.
That’s why I can’t wait to get my hands on a pair of these Bounce Commander’s. The technology is apparently even better than the Creator’s because of this new “Bounce TM” technology. It’s not just the name apparently the midsole stretches and springs back as you run giving you a bounce to your step. The midsole material is apparently being called TPU or Thermo Plastic Urethane, essentially meaning it is resistant to various temperature changes.
Just like the other Creator/Commanders you will have choice of a few colorways based on the player that is repping them. Adidas has informed us that Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Dwight Howard, Josh Smith, and Michael Beasley will all have their own Team Signature (TS) Bounce Commanders. In fact the word is that Kevin Garnett will even have two Celtics colorways, a Black (as shown here), and a white.
The initial release of the TS Bounce Commander is available now at adidas Sport Performance stores, FinishLine, Eastbay, Sports Authority and will range in four colorways for Garnett, Howard and Duncan. All of the colorways are retailing at $109.99. I’m figurin’ this is a great bargain for the sick technology you’re getting with these.
I haven’t tried them out yet personally, but when I do i’ll let you all know what this “Bounce” technology really feels like, and if it’s legit!
